(3) at the request of a prosecutor or defendant in a felony or gross misdemeanor case.

The court may order that a presentence investigation and report be prepared when a defendant has been convicted of a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or any felony not listed in clause (1).

When a defendant is convicted of a felony for which the Sentencing Guidelines do not presume that the defendant will be committed to the commissioner of corrections, or for which the Sentencing Guidelines presume commitment to the commissioner but counsel has moved for a sentencing departure, the court may commit the defendant to the commissioner with the consent of the commissioner, pending completion of the presentence investigation and report, if a presentence investigation and report are ordered. The county of commitment shall return the defendant to the court when the court so orders.

A laboratory shall disclose to the employer a written test result report for each sample tested within three working days after a negative test result on an initial screening test or, when the initial screening test produced a positive test result, within three working days after a confirmatory test. A test report must indicate the drugs, alcohol, or drug or alcohol metabolites, or cannabis or cannabis metabolites tested for and whether the test produced negative or positive test results. A laboratory shall retain and properly store for at least six months all samples that produced a positive test result.

Subd. 4. Prohibitions on employers. An employer may not conduct drug or alcohol testing or cannabis testing of its own employees and job applicants using a testing laboratory owned and operated by the employer; except that, one agency of the state may test the employees of another agency of the state.

Subd. 5. Employer chain-of-custody procedures. An employer shall establish its own reliable chain‑of‑custody procedures to ensure proper record keeping, handling, labeling, and identification of the samples to be tested. The procedures must require the following:

In the case of a positive test result on a confirmatory test, the employer shall also, at the time of this notice, inform the employee or job applicant in writing of the rights provided in subdivisions 6, paragraph (b), 9, and either subdivision 10 or 11, whichever applies.

Subd. 8. Right to test result report. An employee or job applicant has the right to request and receive from the employer a copy of the test result report on any drug or alcohol test or cannabis test.

Subd. 9. Confirmatory retests. An employee or job applicant may request a confirmatory retest of the original sample at the employee's or job applicant's own expense after notice of a positive test result on a confirmatory test. Within five working days after notice of the confirmatory test result, the employee or job applicant shall notify the employer in writing of the employee's or job applicant's intention to obtain a confirmatory retest. Within three working days after receipt of the notice, the employer shall notify the original testing laboratory that the employee or job applicant has requested the laboratory to conduct the confirmatory retest or transfer the sample to another laboratory licensed under subdivision 1 to conduct the confirmatory retest. The original testing laboratory shall ensure that the chain-of-custody procedures in subdivision 3 are followed during transfer of the sample to the other laboratory. The confirmatory retest must use the same drug or alcohol or cannabis testing threshold detection levels as used in the original confirmatory test. If the confirmatory retest does not confirm the original positive test result, no adverse personnel action based on the original confirmatory test may be taken against the employee or job applicant.

Subd. 10. Limitations on employee discharge, discipline, or discrimination. (a) An employer may not discharge, discipline, discriminate against, or request or require rehabilitation of an employee on the basis of a positive test result from an initial screening test that has not been verified by a confirmatory test.

(b) In addition to the limitation under paragraph (a), an employer may not discharge an employee for whom a positive test result on a confirmatory test was the first such result for the employee on a drug or alcohol test or cannabis test requested by the employer unless the following conditions have been met:

(2) the employee has either refused to participate in the counseling or rehabilitation program or has failed to successfully complete the program, as evidenced by withdrawal from the program before its completion or by a positive test result on a confirmatory test after completion of the program.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), an employer may temporarily suspend the tested employee or transfer that employee to another position at the same rate of pay pending the outcome of the confirmatory test and, if requested, the confirmatory retest, provided the employer believes that it is reasonably necessary to protect the health or safety of the employee, coemployees, or the public. An employee who has been suspended without pay must be reinstated with back pay if the outcome of the confirmatory test or requested confirmatory retest is negative.

(d) An employer may not discharge, discipline, discriminate against, or request or require rehabilitation of an employee on the basis of medical history information revealed to the employer pursuant to subdivision 6 unless the employee was under an affirmative duty to provide the information before, upon, or after hire.

Journal of the House - 21st Day - Monday, March 8, 2021 - Top of Page 839

Journal of the House - 21st Day - Monday, March 8, 2021 - Top of Page 856

(1) A provision as follows:

ENTIRE CONTRACT; CHANGES: This policy, including the endorsements and the attached papers, if any, constitutes the entire contract of insurance. No change in this policy shall be valid until approved by an executive officer of the insurer and unless such approval be endorsed hereon or attached hereto. No agent has authority to change this policy or to waive any of its provisions.

(2) A provision as follows:

TIME LIMIT ON CERTAIN DEFENSES: (a) After two years from the date of issue of this policy no misstatements, except fraudulent misstatements, made by the applicant in the application for such policy shall be used to void the policy or to deny a claim for loss incurred or disability (as defined in the policy) commencing after the expiration of such two year period.

The foregoing policy provision shall not be so construed as to affect any legal requirement for avoidance of a policy or denial of a claim during such initial two year period, nor to limit the application of clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5), in the event of misstatement with respect to age or occupation or other insurance. A policy which the insured has the right to continue in force subject to its terms by the timely payment of premium (1) until at least age 50 or, (2) in the case of a policy issued after age 44, for at least five years from its date of issue, may contain in lieu of the foregoing the following provisions (from which the clause in parentheses may be omitted at the insurer's option) under the caption "INCONTESTABLE":

After this policy has been in force for a period of two years during the lifetime of the insured (excluding any period during which the insured is disabled), it shall become incontestable as to the statements contained in the application.

(b) No claim for loss incurred or disability (as defined in the policy) commencing after two years from the date of issue of this policy shall be reduced or denied on the ground that a disease or physical condition not excluded from coverage by name or specific description effective on the date of loss had existed prior to the effective date of coverage of this policy.

(3)(a) Except as required for qualified health plans sold through MNsure to individuals receiving advance payments of the premium tax credit, a provision as follows:

GRACE PERIOD: A grace period of ..... (insert a number not less than "7" for weekly premium policies, "10" for monthly premium policies and "31" for all other policies) days will be granted for the payment of each premium falling due after the first premium, during which grace period the policy shall continue in force.

A policy which contains a cancellation provision may add, at the end of the above provision,

subject to the right of the insurer to cancel in accordance with the cancellation provision hereof.

A policy in which the insurer reserves the right to refuse any renewal shall have, at the beginning of the above provision,

Unless not less than five days prior to the premium due date the insurer has delivered to the insured or has mailed to the insured's last address as shown by the records of the insurer written notice of its intention not to renew this policy beyond the period for which the premium has been accepted.

(b) For ~~qualified~~ individual and small group health plans ~~sold through MNsure to individuals receiving advance payments of the premium tax credit~~, a grace period provision must be included that complies with ~~the Affordable Care Act and is no less restrictive than the grace period required by the Affordable Care Act~~ section 62A.65, subdivision 2a.

Journal of the House - 21st Day - Monday, March 8, 2021 - Top of Page 857

(4) A provision as follows:

REINSTATEMENT: If any renewal premium be not paid within the time granted the insured for payment, a subsequent acceptance of premium by the insurer or by any agent duly authorized by the insurer to accept such premium, without requiring in connection therewith an application for reinstatement, shall reinstate the policy. If the insurer or such agent requires an application for reinstatement and issues a conditional receipt for the premium tendered, the policy will be reinstated upon approval of such application by the insurer or, lacking such approval, upon the forty-fifth day following the date of such conditional receipt unless the insurer has previously notified the insured in writing of its disapproval of such application. For health plans described in section 62A.011, subdivision 3, clause (10), an insurer must accept payment of a renewal premium and reinstate the policy, if the insured applies for reinstatement no later than 60 days after the due date for the premium payment, unless:

(1) the insured has in the interim left the state or the insurer's service area; or

(2) the insured has applied for reinstatement on two or more prior occasions.

The reinstated policy shall cover only loss resulting from such accidental injury as may be sustained after the date of reinstatement and loss due to such sickness as may begin more than ten days after such date. In all other respects the insured and insurer shall have the same rights thereunder as they had under the policy immediately before the due date of the defaulted premium, subject to any provisions endorsed hereon or attached hereto in connection with the reinstatement. Any premium accepted in connection with a reinstatement shall be applied to a period for which premium has not been previously paid, but not to any period more than 60 days prior to the date of reinstatement. The last sentence of the above provision may be omitted from any policy which the insured has the right to continue in force subject to its terms by the timely payment of premiums (1) until at least age 50, or, (2) in the case of a policy issued after age 44, for at least five years from its date of issue.

(5) A provision as follows:

NOTICE OF CLAIM: Written notice of claim must be given to the insurer within 20 days after the occurrence or commencement of any loss covered by the policy, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible. Notice given by or on behalf of the insured or the beneficiary to the insurer at ..... (insert the location of such office as the insurer may designate for the purpose), or to any authorized agent of the insurer, with information sufficient to identify the insured, shall be deemed notice to the insurer.

In a policy providing a loss-of-time benefit which may be payable for at least two years, an insurer may at its option insert the following between the first and second sentences of the above provision:

Subject to the qualifications set forth below, if the insured suffers loss of time on account of disability for which indemnity may be payable for at least two years, the insured shall, at least once in every six months after having given notice of claim, give to the insurer notice of continuance of said disability, except in the event of legal incapacity. The period of six months following any filing of proof by the insured or any payment by the insurer on account of such claim or any denial of liability in whole or in part by the insurer shall be excluded in applying this provision. Delay in the giving of such notice shall not impair the insured's right to any indemnity which would otherwise have accrued during the period of six months preceding the date on which such notice is actually given.

(6) A provision as follows:

CLAIM FORMS: The insurer, upon receipt of a notice of claim, will furnish to the claimant such forms as are usually furnished by it for filing proofs of loss. If such forms are not furnished within 15 days after the giving of such notice the claimant shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of this policy as to proof of loss upon submitting, within the time fixed in the policy for filing proofs of loss, written proof covering the occurrence, the character and the extent of the loss for which claim is made.

Journal of the House - 21st Day - Monday, March 8, 2021 - Top of Page 858

(7) A provision as follows:

PROOFS OF LOSS: Written proof of loss must be furnished to the insurer at its said office in case of claim for loss for which this policy provides any periodic payment contingent upon continuing loss within 90 days after the termination of the period for which the insurer is liable and in case of claim for any other loss within 90 days after the date of such loss. Failure to furnish such proof within the time required shall not invalidate nor reduce any claim if it was not reasonably possible to give proof within such time, provided such proof is furnished as soon as reasonably possible and in no event, except in the absence of legal capacity, later than one year from the time proof is otherwise required.

(8) A provision as follows:

TIME OF PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: Indemnities payable under this policy for any loss other than loss for which this policy provides periodic payment will be paid immediately upon receipt of due written proof of such loss. Subject to due written proof of loss, all accrued indemnities for loss for which this policy provides periodic payment will be paid ..... (insert period for payment which must not be less frequently than monthly) and any balance remaining unpaid upon the termination of liability will be paid immediately upon receipt of due written proof.

(9) A provision as follows:

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS: Indemnity for loss of life will be payable in accordance with the beneficiary designation and the provisions respecting such payment which may be prescribed herein and effective at the time of payment. If no such designation or provision is then effective, such indemnity shall be payable to the estate of the insured. Any other accrued indemnities unpaid at the insured's death may, at the option of the insurer, be paid either to such beneficiary or to such estate. All other indemnities will be payable to the insured.

The following provisions, or either of them, may be included with the foregoing provision at the option of the insurer:

If any indemnity of this policy shall be payable to the estate of the insured, or to an insured or beneficiary who is a minor or otherwise not competent to give a valid release, the insurer may pay such indemnity, up to an amount not exceeding $..... (insert an amount which shall not exceed $1,000), to any relative by blood or connection by marriage of the insured or beneficiary who is deemed by the insurer to be equitably entitled thereto. Any payment made by the insurer in good faith pursuant to this provision shall fully discharge the insurer to the extent of such payment.

Subject to any written direction of the insured in the application or otherwise all or a portion of any indemnities provided by this policy on account of hospital, nursing, medical, or surgical services may, at the insurer's option and unless the insured requests otherwise in writing not later than the time of filing proofs of such loss, be paid directly to the hospital or person rendering such services; but it is not required that the service be rendered by a particular hospital or person.

(10) A provision as follows:

PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS AND AUTOPSY: The insurer at its own expense shall have the right and opportunity to examine the person of the insured when and as often as it may reasonably require during the pendency of a claim hereunder and to make an autopsy in case of death where it is not forbidden by law.

(11) A provision as follows:

LEGAL ACTIONS: No action at law or in equity shall be brought to recover on this policy prior to the expiration of 60 days after written proof of loss has been furnished in accordance with the requirements of this policy. No such action shall be brought after the expiration of three years after the time written proof of loss is required to be furnished.

Journal of the House - 21st Day - Monday, March 8, 2021 - Top of Page 859

(12) A provision as follows:

CHANGE OF BENEFICIARY: Unless the insured makes an irrevocable designation of beneficiary, the right to change of beneficiary is reserved to the insured and the consent of the beneficiary or beneficiaries shall not be requisite to surrender or assignment of this policy or to any change of beneficiary or beneficiaries, or to any other changes in this policy. The first clause of this provision, relating to the irrevocable designation of beneficiary, may be omitted at the insurer's option.

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 62A.10, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

Subd. 5. Prohibition on waiting periods that exceed 90 days. (a) For purposes of this subdivision, "waiting period" means the period that must pass before coverage becomes effective for an individual who is otherwise eligible to enroll under the terms of a group health plan.

(b) A health carrier offering a group health plan must not apply a waiting period that exceeds 90 days, with exceptions for the circumstances described in paragraphs (c) to (e). A health carrier does not violate this subdivision solely because an individual is permitted to take additional time to elect coverage beyond the end of the 90-day waiting period.

(c) If a group health plan conditions eligibility on an employee working full time or regularly having a specified number of service hours per period, and the plan is unable to determine whether a newly hired employee is full time or reasonably expected to regularly work the specific number of hours per period, the plan may take a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 12 months beginning on any date between the employee's start date and the first day of the first calendar month after the employee's start date, to determine whether the employee meets the plan's eligibility condition.

(d) If a group health plan conditions eligibility on an employee having completed a cumulative number of service hours, the cumulative hours-of-service requirement must not exceed 1,200 hours.

(e) An orientation period may be added to the 90-day waiting period if the orientation period is one month or less. The one-month period is determined by adding one calendar month and subtracting one calendar day, measured from an employee's start date in a position that is otherwise eligible for coverage.

(f) A group health plan may treat an employee whose employment has terminated and is later rehired as newly eligible upon rehire and require the rehired employee to meet the plan's eligibility criteria and waiting period again, if doing so is reasonable under the circumstances. Treating an employee as rehired is reasonable if the employee has a break in service of at least 13 weeks, or at least 26 weeks if the employer is an educational institution.

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 62A.65, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

Subdivision 1. Applicability. No health carrier, as defined in section 62A.011, shall offer, sell, issue, or renew any individual health plan, as defined in section 62A.011, to a Minnesota resident except in compliance with this section. ~~This section does not apply to the Comprehensive Health Association established in section 62E.10.~~ A health carrier must only offer, sell, issue, or renew individual health plans on a guaranteed issue basis and at a premium rate that does not vary based on the health status of the individual.

Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 62A.65, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

Subd. 2a. Grace period for nonpayment of premium. (a) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, an individual health plan may be canceled for nonpayment of premiums, but must include a grace period as described in this subdivision.

Journal of the House - 21st Day - Monday, March 8, 2021 - Top of Page 860

(b) The grace period must be three consecutive months. During the grace period, the health carrier must:

(1) pay all claims for services that would have been covered if the premium had been paid, which are provided to the enrollee during the first month of the grace period, and may pend claims for services provided to an enrollee in the second and third months of the grace period; and

(2) notify health care providers of the possibility of denied claims when an enrollee is in the second and third month of the grace period.

(d) If a health plan is canceled under this subdivision, the final day of the enrollment is the last day of the first month of the three-month grace period.

Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 62D.095, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

Subd. 2. Co-payments. A health maintenance contract may impose a co-payment and coinsurance consistent with ~~the provisions of the Affordable Care Act as defined under section 62A.011, subdivision 1a~~ state and federal law.

Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 62D.095, subdivision 3, is amended to read:

Subd. 3. Deductibles. A health maintenance contract may impose a deductible consistent with ~~the provisions of the Affordable Care Act as defined under section 62A.011, subdivision 1a~~ state and federal law.

Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 62Q.01, subdivision 2a, is amended to read:

Subd. 2a. Dependent child to the limiting age. "Dependent child to the limiting age" or "dependent children to the limiting age" means those individuals who are eligible and covered as a dependent child under the terms of a health plan who have not yet attained 26 years of age. A health plan company must not deny or restrict eligibility for a dependent child to the limiting age based on financial dependency, residency, marital status, or student status. For coverage under plans offered by the Minnesota Comprehensive Health Association, dependent to the limiting age means dependent as defined in section 62A.302, subdivision 3. Notwithstanding the provisions in this subdivision, a health plan may include:

(1) eligibility requirements regarding the absence of other health plan coverage ~~as permitted by the Affordable Care Act~~ for grandfathered plan coverage; or

(2) an age greater than 26 in its policy, contract, or certificate of coverage.

Journal of the House - 21st Day - Monday, March 8, 2021 - Top of Page 861

(b) A health plan company must provide coverage for preventive items and services at a participating provider without imposing cost-sharing requirements, including a deductible, coinsurance, or co-payment.

(c) A health plan company is not required to provide coverage for any items or services specified in any recommendation or guideline described in paragraph (a) if the recommendation or guideline is no longer included as a preventive item or service as defined in paragraph (a). Annually, a health plan company must determine whether any additional items or services must be covered without cost-sharing requirements or whether any items or services are no longer required to be covered.

(d) Nothing in this section prevents a health plan company from using reasonable medical management techniques to determine the frequency, method, treatment, or setting for a preventive item or service to the extent not specified in the recommendation or guideline.

(e) This section does not apply to grandfathered plans.

(f) This section does not apply to plans offered by the Minnesota Comprehensive Health Association.

(a) A health plan company may impose cost-sharing requirements with respect to an office visit if a preventive item or service is billed separately or is tracked separately as individual encounter data from the office visit.

(b) A health plan company must not impose cost-sharing requirements with respect to an office visit if a preventive item or service is not billed separately or is not tracked separately as individual encounter data from the office visit and the primary purpose of the office visit is the delivery of the preventive item or service.

Journal of the House - 21st Day - Monday, March 8, 2021 - Top of Page 862

Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 62Q.677, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

Subd. 6a. Out-of-pocket annual maximum. By October of each year, the commissioner of commerce must determine the maximum annual out-of-pocket limits applicable to individual health plans and small group health plans.

Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 2020, section 62Q.81, is amended to read:

62Q.81 ESSENTIAL HEALTH BENEFIT PACKAGE REQUIREMENTS.

Subdivision 1. Essential health benefits package. (a) Health plan companies offering individual and small group health plans must include the essential health benefits package ~~required under section 1302(a) of the Affordable Care Act and as~~ described in this subdivision.

(b) The essential health benefits package means insurance coverage that:

(1) provides the essential health benefits ~~as outlined in the Affordable Care Act~~ described in subdivision 4;

(2) limits cost-sharing for ~~such~~ the coverage ~~in accordance with the Affordable Care Act~~, as described in subdivision 2; and

(3) ~~subject to subdivision 3,~~ provides bronze, silver, gold, or platinum level of coverage ~~in accordance with the Affordable Care Act~~, as described in subdivision 3.

Subd. 2. Cost-sharing; coverage for enrollees under the age of 21. (a) Cost-sharing includes (1) deductibles, coinsurance, co-payments, or similar charges, and (2) qualified medical expenses, as defined in section 223(d)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Cost-sharing does not include premiums, balance billing from non-network providers, or spending for noncovered services.

(b) Cost-sharing per year for individual health plans is limited to the amount allowed under section 223(c)(2)(A)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, increased by an amount equal to the product of that amount and the premium adjustment percentage.
